Hmmm, what about use request_thread_irq() and put the gpio_trig_work()
in as the thread_func.

Felipe, can you take a look at this?

Also in the first patch:
Actually in gpio_trig_irq(), it said:
/* just schedule_work since gpio_get_value can sleep */
        schedule_work(&gpio_data->work);

Then that means we need to call gpio_get_value_can_sleep() in the
gpio_trig_work() instead of gpio_get_value(), right?

Thanks,
-Bryan
